Getty letter arrived?

Small sites get demand letters yearly. Licenses confuse.

1. The problem

Bootstrapped sites receive Getty demand letters yearly. License tiers confuse seats versus impressions. Interns grab Google Images. Fines stack thousands per photo. The hardest part is compliant clarity fast. A blog might owe fortunes. That uncertainty makes it hard to publish safe.

What people are saying

“Receiving yearly shocked here. I need tier decoders with audit flows.”

2. What exists

Stock agencies, lawyers and CC0 libraries license images, while shocking persists yearly. Agencies enforce aggressively. Libraries lack variety. There is little help with tier decoders plus audit flows for owners.

3. The solution

The solution could be a publish-safe engine. It could decode tiers simply plainly. It could audit libraries wisely full. Renewals could track seats. The goal would be safe sites, zero letters.
